If government spying on all Americans is such a good thing, then why is it being conducted in secret?

In the run up to the 2012 election, why didn’t Obama campaign on the promise that he would keep Americans safe by spying on all our phone calls, emails and electronic communications? After all, Obama says he completely endorse the program, insisting that Americans will have to put up with a “little inconvenience” in order to be more secure.

So why not run on that platform? “Hey, America, I’m the SPY President! Vote for me and have all your emails read by caring government professionals who keep you safe!” Instead of being the “Hope and Change” candidate, Obama could have been an advocate for “Snoop and Chains!”

Obama didn’t run on that platform, of course, because he would have lost the election if he admitted the things he really supports: secret military prisons and illegal torture, secret kill lists of American citizens, unarmed drone strikes on women and children, the continued criminalization of pot and industrial hemp, the continued Big Pharma monopoly over medicine, the DHS arming against the American people, and of course the over-the-top NSA surveillance machine that listens to all your phone calls and reads all your emails.

A candidate who openly admitted to supporting all the things Obama is now doing would be ridiculed… laughed off the debate stage and maybe even run out of the country. But by lying to the American public about all these things, Obama got elected. And once elected, he pushed the expansion of these programs, blowing out trillions of dollars in federal spending while multiplying the power and reach of the Big Brother police state surveillance grid.

But it’s all okay, he says. You didn’t need to know about all these details because the government was keeping you safe. And yes, you can trust government as long as Obama is in charge, you see.

Besides, you don’t have anything to hide, do ya?

YOU have nothing to hide, but WE do!

• A d v e r t i s e m e n t

The government’s logic on spying on you is that it’s okay since you have nothing to hide. But then why wouldn’t the same logic apply to the government? If they have nothing to hide, then why not come out and disclose the full extent of the phone tapping, the email scanning and electronic surveillance?

The government wants to have it both ways: YOU don’t need any secrets because you have nothing to hide, right? But WE (the government) need all sorts of secrets. And why? Because our secrets keep you safe!

The very idea that only guilty people have something to hide turns out to indict the government itself: the very fact that they are running all these surveillance activities in total secrecy practically guarantees they’re guilty. That’s the trick, you see: use their own logic against them. When the government says, “Trust us, we’re keeping you safe by keeping an eye on you,” your answer should be, “Well who’s keeping an eye on YOU?”

StopWatching.us

So now, in one of the most hilarious examples of hypocrisy we’ve yet seen from the world of high tech, Google is using its home page to promote the Stop Watching Us website which calls for Congress to “reveal the full extent of the NSA’s spying programs.”

The reason this is so hilarious is because Google was founded with help from the NSA and remains one of the NSA’s most important front-end psychological profiling tools. For Google to point the finger at the NSA and say, “how dare they spy on us!” should be met with obscene laughter.

Google calling for the NSA to stop spying on people would be like McDonald’s calling on the fast food industry to stop feeding fried foods to consumers.

Why Obama won’t demand progress

The StopWatching.US website itself is a project of the non-profit called Demand Progress (www.DemandProgress.org), which sounds like some sort of uber-liberal activist site but really isn’t. It’s actually a group that opposes CISPA, the NDAA and Hollywood monopolistic controls over the internet. They’re also helping promote the petition for President Obama to pardon Ed Snowden as well as demanding justice for internet activist Aaron Swartz.

I completely agree with Demand Progress on all these points, but Obama completely disagrees with everything the site stands for. Obama, despite what he says, actually stands for more secret prisons, more government spying on Americans, more secret kill lists and the continued destruction of the Bill of Rights in the name of “security.”

Interestingly, about half the democratic party has surrendered to the Obama police state and is idiotically backing nearly all of Bush’s favorite policies now that Obama is the new front man. To truly brain-damaged individuals like Sen. Al Franken and Bill Maher — both of whom smoked WAY too much weed to be believed on anything — government abuse of power was bad under Bush, but now it’s perfectly okay under Obama. I’m not sure how much pot, crack, smack or meth you have to smoke in order to come to that conclusion, but somebody in the democratic party seems to be handing all that out for free.

No, the only reasonable, rational response to all of this — regardless of your political leanings — is that secret government surveillance of the American people was criminal under Bush, and it’s still criminal under Obama. It can’t suddenly be morally okay just because a democrat sits in the Oval Office, and any democrat who attempts to argue this point is only discrediting themselves.

Because this brings us back to the original question of this article: if government spying on the American people is so great and dandy, then why wasn’t it announced with great fanfare as if it were some sort of amazing new “benefit” of compassionate government?

Why wasn’t government surveillance mentioned as a selling point in the presidential debates?

Why didn’t television ads brag about how much each candidate believed in domestic spying on everyday Americans?

So enough with the bullshit from Obama, Feinstein, Boehner, Cheney, McCain, Clapper, Franken and every other nitwit who’s now trying to say this is all a wonderful government program being run by honest people who would never abuse all these billions of secret files they’re gathering on you.

My message to those crooks and liars? Nobody believes you anymore. You’re finished. Your government is finished. Your credibility has been shattered and your false, flowery rhetoric makes people want to vomit.

As NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden recently said:

It’s important to bear in mind I’m being called a traitor by men like former Vice President Dick Cheney. This is a man who gave us the warrantless wiretapping scheme as a kind of atrocity warm-up on the way to deceitfully engineering a conflict that has killed over 4,400 and maimed nearly 32,000 Americans, as well as leaving over 100,000 Iraqis dead. Being called a traitor by Dick Cheney is the highest honor you can give an American, and the more panicked talk we hear from people like him, Feinstein, and King, the better off we all are.

I couldn’t agree more.

ACTION ITEM: Sign the petition to demand Obama pardon Snowden:

Washington Is Insane

•  

  
  
  
  
  
  

Paul Craig Roberts
Infowars.com
June 18, 2013

In the 21st century the two hundred year-old propaganda that the American people control their government has been completely shattered. Both the Bush and Obama regimes have made it unmistakenly clear that the American people don’t even influence, much less control, the government. As far as Washington is concerned, the people are nothing but chaff in the wind.

Polls demonstrate that 65% of the US population opposes US intervention in Syria. Despite this clear indication of the people’s will, the Obama regime is ramping up a propaganda case for more arming of Washington’s mercenaries sent to overthrow the secular Syrian government and for a “no-fly zone” over Syria, which, if Libya is the example, means US or NATO aircraft attacking the Syrian army on the ground, thus serving as the air force of Washington’s imported mercenaries, euphemistically called “the Syrian rebels.”

Washington declared some time ago that the “red line” that would bring Syria under Washington’s military attack was the Assad government’s use of chemical weapons of mass destruction against Washington’s mercenaries. Once this announcement was made, everyone with a brain immediately knew that Washington would fabricate false intelligence that Assad had used chemical weapons, just as Washington presented to the United Nations the intentional lie via Secretary of State Colin Powell that Saddam Hussein in Iraq had dangerous weapons of mass destruction. Remember National Security Advisor Condi Rice’s image of a “mushroom cloud over American cities?” Propagandistic lies were Washington’s orders of the day.

And they still are. Now Washington has fabricated the false intelligence, and president Obama has announced it with a straight face, that Syria’s Assad has used sarin gas on several occasions and that between 100 and 150 “of his own people,” a euphemism for the US supplied foreign mercenaries, have been killed by the weapon of mass destruction.

Think about that for a minute. As unfortunate as is any death from war, is 100-150 deaths “mass destruction?” According to low-ball estimates, the US-sponsored foreign mercenary invasion of Syria has cost 93,000 lives, of which 150 deaths amounts to 0.0016.

In other words, 92,850 of the deaths did not cross the “red line.” But 150 did, allegedly.

Yes, I know. Washington’s position makes no sense. But when has it ever made any sense?

• A d v e r t i s e m e n t

Let’s stretch our minds just a tiny bit farther. Assad knows about Washington’s “red line.” It has been repeated over and over in order to create in the minds of the distracted American public that there is a real, valid reason for attacking Syria. Why would Assad use the proscribed weapons of mass destruction in order to kill a measly 100-150 mercenaries when his army is mopping up the US mercenaries without the use of gas and when Assad knows that the use of gas brings in the US military against him?

As the Russian government made clear, Washington’s accusation is not believable. No informed person could possibly believe it. No doubt, many Americans wearing patriotism on their sleeves will fall for Washington’s latest lie, but no one else in the world will. Even Washington’s NATO puppets calling for attacking Syria know that the justification for the attack is a lie. For the NATO puppets, Washington’s money overwhelms integrity, for which the rewards are low.

The Russians certainly know that Washington is lying. The Russian Foreign Minister Larov said: “The [Assad] government, as the opposition is saying openly, is enjoying military success on the ground. The [Assad] regime isn’t driven to the wall. What sense is there for the regime to use chemical arms–especially in such small amounts.”

Larov is a relatively civilized person in the role of Russia’s main diplomat. However, other Russian officials can be more pointed in their dismissal of Washington’s latest blatant lies. Yury Ushakov, an aide to Russian President Putin said: “The Americans tried to present us with information on the use of chemical weapons by the [Assad] regime, but frankly we thought that it was not convincing. We wouldn’t like to invoke references to [the infamous lies of] Secretary of State Powell [at the UN alleging Iraqi WMD], but the facts don’t look convincing in our eyes.” Aleksey Pushkov, the chairman of the Russian Duma’s Foreign Affairs Committee, cut to the chase. “The data about Assad’s use of chemical weapons is fabricated by the same facility that made up the lies about Saddam Hussein’s weapons of mass destruction. Obama is walking George W. Bush’s path.”

Here in America no one will ever hear straight talk like this from the US presstitutes.

Orwellian double-speak is now the language of the United States government. Secretary of State John Kerry condemned Assad for harming “peace talks” while the US arms its Syrian mercenaries.

Washington’s double-speak is now obvious to the world. Not only Assad, but also the Russians, Chinese, Iranians, and every US puppet state which includes all of NATO and Japan, are fully aware that Washington is again lying through its teeth. The Russians, Chinese, and Iranians are trying to avoid confrontation with Washington, as war with the modern nuclear weapons would destroy all life on planet earth. What is striking is that despite 24/7 brainwashing by the presstitutes, a large majority of the American population opposes Obama’s war on Syria.

This is good news. It means more Americans are developing the ability to think independently of the lies Washington feeds to them.

What the neocon nazis, the Bush/Obama regime, and the presstitute media have made
clear is that Washington is going to push its agenda of world hegemony to the point of
starting World War III, which, of course, means the end of life on earth.

Russia and China, either one of which can destroy the United States, have learned that the US government is a liar and cannot be trusted. The Libyan “no-fly” policy to which Russia and China agreed turned out to be a NATO air attack on the Libyan army so that the CIA-sponsored mercenaries could prevail.

Russia and China, having learned their lesson, are protesting Washington’s assault on Syria that Washington pretends is a “civil war.” If Syria falls, Russia and China know that Iran is next.

Iran is Russia’s underbelly, and for China Iran is 20% of its energy imports. Both Russian and Chinese governments know that after Iran falls, they are next. There is no other explanation for Washington surrounding Russia with missile bases and surrounding China with naval and air bases.

Both Russia and China are now preparing for the war that they see as inevitable. Washington’s crazed, demented drive for world hegemony is bringing unsuspecting Americans up against two countries with hydrogen bombs whose combined population is five times the US population. In such a conflict everyone dies.

Considering the utterly insane government ruling in Washington, if human life exists in 2020, it will be a miracle. All the worry about future Medicare and Social Security deficits is meaningless. There will be no one here to collect the benefits.

Video: Syrian Teen-Rebels Hail 9/11 Attack

•  

  
  
  
  
  
  

Al-Qaeda training camp recruits: “If they call me a terrorist, I will consider it an honor”

Paul Joseph Watson
Infowars.com
June 18, 2013

A new video has emerged of teens at an Al-Qaeda camp in Syria undergoing military training and indoctrination as they sing songs glorifying the 9/11 attacks while vowing to topple President Bashar Al-Assad.

The clip shows the teens being transported to Al-Qaeda’s “Khalifa Youth Camp” in Al Bukamal, Syria before they are seen being trained to fire rounds at an image of Assad while surrounded with distinctive black Al-Qaeda flags which proclaim “Allahu Akbar” and “Islamic State of Iraq Sham,” which represents the union between Al-Qaeda in Iraq and Syria.

The video shows the teens on a bus vowing that the “state of Islam … will vanquish Bashar and Bushra (Assad’s sister), the lowlifes and the infidels.”

The teens are then filmed partaking in a ceremony during which they swear allegiance to Abu Bakr al Baghdadi (the head of al Qaeda in Iraq) as well as Al-Qaeda leader Ayman al Zawahiri.

“We destroyed America with a civilian airplane,” the young Syrian rebels sing. “The World Trade Center was turned into rubble. The World Trade Center was turned into rubble.”

“If they call me a terrorist, I will consider it an honor,” the teens sing. “Our terror is blessed, a divine call. Our terror is blessed, a divine call.”

The video serves as yet another reminder that the Obama administration is directly aiding terrorists with its decision to arm the rebels with heavy weaponry. Despite efforts to differentiate between FSA militants and Al-Qaeda terrorists, the two groups have clearly merged into a single force.

- Jabhat al-Nusra is now the leading front line fighting force in Syria and is commanding the other rebel groups.

- In April, the head of Jabhat al-Nusra pledged allegiance to al-Qaeda chief Ayman al-Zawahiri.

- FSA rebels are defecting to Jabhat al-Nusra in droves.

- Immediately after the State Department declared Jabhat al-Nusra a terrorist organization, 29 different FSA rebel outfits pledged allegiance to the Al-Qaeda group.

- FSA rebels have vowed to “fight the U.S.” once they finish with Bashar Al-Assad.

- FSA rebels have been filmed burning US and Israeli flags on more than one occasion.

- FSA rebels have been filmed on previous occasions singing songs that glorify Osama Bin Laden and the 9/11 attacks.

- One FSA group even calls its fighting unit the “Osama Bin Laden” brigade.

- Another video shows FSA rebels chanting, “We are all with Osama bin Laden!”

- FSA rebels have voiced their desire to see the Al-Qaeda flag fly over the White House once the rebels are victorious across the region.

- FSA rebels recently massacred an entire village of Christians while last week they slaughtered a 14-year-old boy for supposedly insulting Mohammed.

After being downplayed for well over a year, the reality that Al-Qaeda terrorists are leading the other rebel groups in Syria, and that the Obama administration is set to arm extremist radicals who will later pose a direct threat to American national security, is now widely accepted.

Even the Mayor of London Boris Johnson broke ranks with British Prime Minister David Cameron earlier this week to warn that there was no way to prevent such weapons reaching “Al-Qaeda-affiliated thugs” and that western powers would be “pressing weapons into the hands of maniacs”.

White House defends high bills for Africa trip

•  

  
  
  
  
  
  

Dave Boyer
Washington Times
June 16, 2013

The White House Friday defended the first family’s upcoming weeklong trip to Africa, which could cost taxpayers up to $100 million, as “great bang for our buck.”

“There will be a great bang for our buck for being in Africa because when you travel to regions like Africa that don’t get a lot of presidential attention, you tend to have very longstanding and long-running impact from the visit,” said Ben Rhodes, a deputy national security adviser to President Obama.

The Obamas’ trip, at a time of “sequestration” budget cuts, will take them to Senegal, Tanzania and South Africa from June 26 to July 3. Citing a confidential planning document, the Washington Post reported that the trip will cost between $60 million to $100 million.

Suspended and arrested after refusing to change his NRA shirt. Today, 14-year-old Jared Marcum appeared before a judge and was officially charged with obstructing an officer.

A $500 fine and up to a year in jail, that’s the penalty that Jared could face, now that a judge has allowed the prosecution to move forward with it’s obstructing an officer charge against him.

“Me, I’m more of a fighter and so is Jared and eventually we’re going to get through this,” Jared’s father Allen Lardieri said. “I don’t think it should have ever gotten this far.”

Multiplying scandals to hide the one scandal that could sink Obama

•  

  
  
  
  
  
  

Jon Rappoport
Infowars.com
June 16, 2013

Realize, first of all, that the normal attention span of elite media is about three days. If you can jam your version of data down their throats for that length of time, you’re golden.

Then you’re facing another three days. You start all over again.

You being the White House PR flack machine.

The overall effect you’re looking for is: here today, gone tomorrow (or in three days). Nothing sticks.

Therefore, the public, or that part of it that can still think and reflect at all, is yanked from one fragmentary story to another. Sooner or later, surrender comes.

“Do me. Give me your stories. I’ll buy them. Then I’ll forget them. Then I’ll buy the new ones.”

In this climate, there is no process that can be called reasoning. It doesn’t exist. It’s all about What’s New.

• A d v e r t i s e m e n t

FastFurious? Old hat. Benghazi? He said-he said. Who cares? The Feds spying on AP reporters? A yawner.

No traction. That’s the goal of every modern White House press corps.

Of course, along come stories that can’t be slid out of the pan and tossed in the garbage. A war. A mass shooting in a school or a theater.

In that case, the White House quickly develops a message. The theme. The takeaway.

“What’s our agenda here? What do we want to leave people with?”

“Mental health. This Lanza kid was a nutjob. Therefore, America needs a better mental health system. The president will announce a new program to install community mental-health centers across the land.”

“And guns. The kid had access to his mother’s guns. Feeds into taking all the guns away. From everybody.”

White House PR flacks spread these messages to the press and enlist the help of Congresspeople to make supporting statements.

They invent reality for the masses.

Once in a while, a truly ugly scandal rears its head. If it isn’t cut off at the pass, it could damage the White House and take the president into a place he doesn’t want to inhabit. Benghazi, for example.

“Obama stood by and did nothing while Americans were murdered.” That story line has to be stopped.

So he-said he-said gets a heavy workout. Accusations and denials. The pile of nonsense that goes nowhere.

Then there is the suggestion of blame that should go elsewhere. The State Department. The CIA. Put them front and center and deflect responsibility away from the president. Try a presidential “I didn’t know what was going on.”

If all that doesn’t work, it’s a crisis. It might be time to introduce (leak) new scandals. A few of them. A traffic jam.

If this seems improbable and shocking, take a breath and consider that it’s in the age-old war playbook. Sacrifice a battle to win the war.

“We lose here to win there.”

Politicians who gain significant power don’t think like “good people.” They aren’t operating as the PR-fed media tells you they’re operating. They think like Sun Tzu and von Clausewitz.

“Pretend inferiority.” “All war is based on deception.” “When we are able to attack, we must seem unable.” “War is such a dangerous business that mistakes that come from kindness are the very worst.”

Presidents are at war. They’re at war from the moment they step into power. If they’re not, the people behind the curtain, who put the president into office, take up the slack and protect them.

Benghazi could torpedo Obama? Could take him down? The scandal is widening? It’s getting harder to contain? It’s rising to a roar?

Okay. Do the one thing that will appear to be completely counter-intuitive. Leak new scandals. Let a few dupes take the fall. Who cares?

Obscure Benghazi with new shocks. The AP scandal. The IRS scandal. The NSA-Snowden scandal. In each of those, Obama himself can survive. The damage he incurs is far less than what would happen if the Benghazi op explodes.

Aside from Americans being murdered at Benghazi, which is the emotional spark that could ignite the public, there is the matter of the White House and the Pentagon and the CIA arming the very terrorists who killed Christopher Stevens and the Seals. Arming them to make them into “heroic rebels” fighting against the Assad government in Syria.

Rahm Emanuel says, “Never let a crisis go to waste.” The spin off of that is: Expose new crises if you need them.

The media are ready, willing, and able to publicize the new crises. They live for them. Big stories. Commands don’t have to come down from the penthouse to editors and reporters. It’s an easy slam-dunk. Leak a new scandal, and the wolves of the press come to feed.

As you sit here reading this, do you know or remember exactly who first leaked the IRS and AP scandals to the press? And if you’re in the vast minority of people who think they remember, are you correct? Do you really know how the initial leak occurred and who it came from?

In the Snowden/NSA case, we presume it was Snowden himself who did the leaking, because, as an independent voice, he wanted to. He chose the moment to tell The Guardian and the Washington Post to move ahead and blow the whistle.

But, as I’ve argued in prior articles, it’s far more likely Snowden is an agent of forces who want to blast a hole in the NSA for their own un-altruistic reasons. Therefore, the timing of the NSA scandal, as a media story, would have been a choice Snowden’s handlers made.

In the Watergate myth, two rookie reporters for the Washington Post, following up on the Watergate break-in, caught a break. Woodward did. He “knew a guy.” The guy was standing in the shadows of a parking garage. He said, “This story is bigger than the break-in.” And Woodward and Bernstein were off and running.

Someone wanted that story to become a scandal, to take down Nixon. Deep Throat in the garage was fulfilling a higher purpose. I’ve written about this several times. Basically, David Rockefeller, who owned Nixon, was horrified that the president was laying tariffs on goods imported into the US.

It went directly against David’s prime Globalist strategy: “free trade.”

Rockefeller was the real leaker. He was the man who gave the green light to take down the crook, Nixon.

Take a president down. Protect a president. Either way, in times of crisis, the people in power do what’s necessary. They don’t care about Nice or Kind or Moral or Just. That’s fiction. That’s fairy tale.

The job of elite media is to believe and promote the idea that Nice and Kind and Moral and Just are the rule in political life, and scandal is the exception. That’s the myth for the kiddies.

The truth goes like this. “Okay, guys, we’re in the war room. We’ve got Benghazi. This is a bad one. Obama is exposed. His flank is unprotected. If we let this scandal play out, it’s going to drown the president. We can time a few new scandals so people will forget about Benghazi. Let’s bring them into play, one after the other. Hit them hard. Obama will weather the storm. Memory is short…”

Here’s what the National Journal reported on June 13:

“Obama’s job-approval ratings in the Gallup Poll have averaged between 47 percent and 51 percent each week since mid-February. This past week, June 3-9, his approval rating was 48 percent and his disapproval rating was 45 percent. All of the other major polls except for Fox News’s show essentially no change in his standing from a couple of months ago, before renewed attention to Benghazi, the Internal Revenue Service revelations, the Associated Press phone-records flap, and the recent leaks about the National Security Agency’s electronic-surveillance system.”

The president is, in fact, surviving the recent scandals. At least, that’s how the press and the pollsters are presenting it.

The op is working.

Is Obama taking hits? Of course. Has his credibility diminished? Yes. Will the recent scandals affect his ability to “get things done” in his second term? Yes.

But so far, the larger threat, Benghazi, has been deflected.

And the weakening of the dollar, the increasing of government debt, the economic devastation of the country, the true unemployment rate, the continuing war in Afghanistan, the stepping up of the Surveillance State, the militarization of police forces, the corporatizing of agriculture…and all the other crucial indicators of the decline of America as a modern Roman Empire are on track.

On track to what?

A Globalist planet.

A kingdom of controlled Earth, where all nations, including America, are brought down to a level of power that can managed from above.

Obama, like all recent Globalist presidents, is doing his assigned job. His number-one job. He’s winning the war as he sees it and as his controllers see it.

J.R.R. Tolkien Would be Arrested Under Florida Law: Special Report

It’s another sign that the Tea Party meme is an excuse to institute more statist coercion. Florida Governor Rick Scott has signed legislation that will make possession of a pipe a third degree felony beginning July 1. A third degree felony in Florida could result in a five year prison term, a loss of the right to vote (for career politicos like Scott), and a lifelong criminal stigma.

Cameron warned not to even think about military intervention in Syria

•  

  
  
  
  
  
  

Press TV
June 15, 2013

British Prime Minister David Cameron has been warned not to even think about intervening in Syria militarily at a time when his coalition government is cutting thousands of army jobs.

A group of Conservative MPs and retired officers warned the prime minister that his plan to arm foreign-backed terror groups fighting the Syrian government would be the first step down a path that could lead to another British military invasion of the Middle East region.

This comes as the coalition government is sending redundancy notices to 5,300 Army personnel soon as part of its plan to reduce the number of soldiers from 102,000 to 82,000 by 2017.

The cuts are imposed at a time when David Cameron is contemplating to arm terrorists fighting the popular government of President Bashar al-Assad in Syria.

“Here we are yet again with a government reducing our Armed Services and at the same time talking about military intervention of some sort in Syria”, said Richard Drax, the Conservative MP for South Dorset.

“In such an increasingly unstable world, events like Syria and Turkey can develop at any moment and yet here we are cutting our Armed Services to the size of a gendarmerie. Our Navy is now little more than something you put in the bath”, he said.

Earlier this month, 82 Tory MPs wrote to the Prime Minister to demand a parliamentary vote on any decision to equip Syria’s rebels.

• A d v e r t i s e m e n t

Some Conservative MPs fear that any weapons given to the rebels could fall into the hands of some fighters who have links with al-Qaeda terrorist group.

Meanwhile, David Cameron has said that he will make every attempt to convince the Group of Eight (G8) authorities to support US plans to impose a no-fly zone over parts of Syria, when they gather for the G8 summit in Northern Ireland this week.

The push for action comes after US President Barack Obama said he would give “direct military aid” to terrorists in Syria.

Cameron was central to the development of a no-fly zone over Libya in 2011, which resulted in thousands of sorties and strikes against people on the ground.

Turkish protests continue through haze of tear gas, confused screams and trampled tents

Al Jazeera
June 15, 2013

Anti-government demonstrations are continuing in Turkey, a day after Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the prime minister, met some protest groups even as he called on his own supporters to show their support for the government.

Amid allegations of Turkey’s police forces using excessive force in the early stages of the protests, the demonstrations have taken on a largely peaceful feel, punctuated by clashes between the two sides.

Demonstrations at Taksim Square in Istanbul started after trees were torn up to make way for redevelopment including removal of trees and the reconstruction of a former Ottoman army barracks.

House debates deputizing police as immigration agents

•  

  
  
  
  
  
  

Mary Orndorff Troyan
USA Today
June 15, 2013

A Republican proposal to deputize local police as immigration agents would improve public safety, law enforcement officials said Thursday.

But Democrats said it would reopen the fractious debate over whether states can be trusted to investigate a person’s citizenship status without engaging in racial profiling.

Those contrasting opinions were the focus of a hearing before the House Judiciary Committee on Thursday about the Strengthen and Fortify Enforcement Act sponsored by Republican Rep. Trey Gowdy of South Carolina.

Senate rejects move to tie immigration overhaul to border security

•  

  
  
  
  
  
  

Lisa Mascaro
Los Angeles Times
June 15, 2013

In the first and only vote Thursday on the immigration bill, senators turned back a Republican measure that would have delayed a path to citizenship for those in the country illegally until after the border with Mexico is fully secure.

Republicans still plan to offer several other measures to enhance border security, but this one, from Sen. Charles E. Grassley of Iowa, was one of the most hard-line of the proposals.

The 57-43 vote to defeat the amendment offered an imprecise test of whether the Senate will find the 60 votes needed to pass the bill. Some senators who favored the tough approach may still vote for the bill.

Domestic Spy Grid Designed Long Before 9/11

•  

  
  
  
  
  
  

Kit Daniels
Infowars.com
June 14, 2013

The domestic spy grid enslaving Americans’ personal data into perpetual, digital archives was planned well before 9/11 in a manner much like the early 2001 planning for the invasion of Iraq.

A 42-page, declassified memo called Transition 2001, published in December 2000 to brief newly elected President Bush on the National Security Agency, declares that the agency’s mission demands “a powerful, permanent presence on a global telecommunications network that will host ‘protected’ communications of Americans as well as the targeted communications of adversaries.” [emphasis added]

The word “protected,” surrounded by double quotations in the memo, refers to all of the personal, private data of Americans protected by the Fourth Amendment. Simply put, prior to the post-9/11 War on Terror, the NSA had every intention of ensnaring the phone conversations, e-mails, chat logs, Internet search history, etc. of all Americans into their wide net of domestic surveillance. Even the double quotations imply a veil of contempt towards our rights.

Predating the Transition 2001 memo by three months, and 9/11 by an entire year, a report entitled Rebuilding America’s Defenses: Strategy, Forces and Resources for a New Century calls for the U.S. Department of Defense to aggressively embrace information technologies but warns of a slow implementation unless a “new Pearl Harbor” ushers in an era of high-tech intelligence gathering.

This report also calls on the U.S. armed forces to control cyberspace, in the same vein of navies controlling the high seas, in order to protect America’s global political leadership in the “infosphere.” The report is structured upon a demand for “national leadership that accepts the United States’ global responsibilities.”

Rebuilding America’s Defenses was published by the now-extinct Project for the New American Century, a think tank founded by former State Department staff member Robert Kagan and neoconservative William Kristol, the latter known for his statements suggesting the GOP would be better off without Ron Paul.

Although Kristol is now spinning the NSA’s end run around the Fourth Amendment as targeting foreign terrorists with proper oversight, Ron Paul on the other hand predicted the dangers of this Orwellian surveillance state over a quarter-century ago, ironically in the year 1984.

Unfortunately Ron Paul’s warning was completely ignored by our government. Not too long after the Transition 2001 memo and the Rebuilding America’s Defenses report, the U.S. Department of Defense moved towards integrating existing information on American citizens and aliens into a centralized, virtual database, as reported in a December 15, 2002 article in the New York Times by Jeffrey Rosen, entitled Total Information Awareness. According to this article, the Total Information Awareness program sought to analyze Americans’ criminal, financial, educational, medical, and travel records and could have included the development of “risk profile” technologies to determine “suspicious” patterns of behavior in individuals.

The current surveillance state was not born out of the post-9/11 world but simply thrived in it.

Pentagon Insider Writes Novel About Bohemian Grove and Globalist Plot

•  

  
  
  
  
  
  

Infowars.com
June 14, 2013

When Lt. Col. Anthony Shaffer published his memoirs in “Operation Dark Heart” in 2010, the Defense Department found the book so interesting they immediately snapped up the initial run of 10,000 copies to prevent them from getting into the wrong hands and future copies were heavily censored.

This week, Shaffer and co-author William H. Keith are releasing a novel, “The Last Line,” an action-packed thriller that focuses on the dark and twisted cabal known as Bohemian Grove.

The Bohemian Grove is a 2,700 acre campground amid an ancient Redwood forest. outfitted for the rich and famous, it exists not between the pages of a work of fiction but at 20601 Bohemian Avenue in Monte Rio in northern California. Owned by the Bohemian Club, a private San Francisco-based men’s art club, the Bohemian Grove hosts an annual two-week, three-weekend camping event in July for some of the most powerful and influential men in the world.

The Bohemian Club’s membership is all male and includes artists, musicians, prominent business leaders and government officials. The membership list has included every Republican and some Democratic U.S. presidents since 1923. Guests are welcome but must first pass a rigorous screening process before they’re allowed to enter the secretive society.

The annual campfest is generally assumed to be just an opportunity for relaxation and merriment, with members behaving like, well, bohemians, drinking and carousing and peeing on trees. In reality, the goings-on at Bohemian Grove are much more sinister.

A 2011 article by Infowars’ Paul Joseph Watson included excerpts from an interview with Sonoma State sociology Professor Peter Phillips, who attended the Grove in 1994. Phillips said the “elitist encampment was a forum for ‘very important people’ to discuss ‘intimate issues.’”

“They’re very clearly talking politics and business constantly,” Phillips said, completely contradicting the Bohemian Club’s claim that ‘weaving spiders come not here,’ a reference to the notion that members talking shop is severely frowned upon.

“I proved the opposite, quite clearly,” said Philips. “I heard conversations about business. ‘If GE comes in on the deal, we can get the Japanese to join’ – three men walking down a trail together.”

The Manhattan Project was born at Bohemian Grove in 1942, which led to the creation of the atomic bomb, a fact members still brag about today. And the Strategic Defense Initiative, Star Wars, was introduced during a lakeside talk in the early 80′s, before Ronald Reagan publicly proposed the program in March 1983.

In 2000, Alex Jones became the first journalist to capture on film the ritualistic “Cremation of Care” ceremony held at the Grove. “This is like something out of a Hollywood movie, where teenagers are out camping in the wilderness and come over a hill and witness some devil cult in black and red garb sacrificing some poor soul on a bloody altar.”

In his article, Watson said, “The fact that Bohemian Grove is perhaps the ultimate ‘secret room’, in which world and domestic policy is agreed upon in amidst bizarre environment of drunken frivolity, alleged homosexual prostitution, and occult pagan ceremonies should be of utmost concern to any thinking person.

Given that Shaffer’s “Operation Dark Heart” was so heavily censored by the DoD, it’s a safe bet “The Last Line” will be a real page-turner. Shaffer didn’t want to say much for fear of spoiling the plot, but he did tell Alex:

“I’ve seen you when you did the show on Bohemian Grove and I don’t want to say it didn’t influence our thinking because it did. … There’s certain elements of the government who may work against our own people’s interests, and it’s tied to Bohemian Grove.”

Check out Dark Secrets: Inside Bohemian Grove below to see Alex Jones’ historic infiltration of the occult playground of the global elite, or pick it up from the Infowars Shop and help support our growing media operation.

Back in 2011, Alex interviewed novelist, non-fiction writer, and TV show creator Brad Meltzer, host of the History Channel series Brad Meltzer’s Decoded, an American mystery and conspiracy theory investigation series that produced an episode delving into the bizarre rituals and mock sacrifices performed at Bohemian Grove.

Gold Buying Panic In China: 10,000 People Wait In Line For Their Chance to Own Precious Metals

•  

  
  
  
  
  
  

Mac Slavo
SHTF Plan
June 14, 2013

One day in the near future Americans will finally realize that their money is being devalued at a rapid pace. For the time being the price increases are somewhat muted by official announcements of inflation being under control at around 2% and purported economic recovery on the horizon. The Federal Reserve and the US government are doing everything in their power to maintain a perception of stability.

But what happens when all the machinations are proven to be fruitless during the next stock market crash and currency crisis?

That’s when people panic. That’s when they start mass selling assets that hold no true value, and shift their capital to physical goods that store and preserve wealth.

In China, where the central government has manipulated the currency, economic and financial markets for decades, the people have seen it all before. And they aren’t taking any chances.

While the paper price of gold and silver may have dropped nearly 25% this year, it’s clear that demand in the real world is soaring.

If you want to know what it’s going to look like in front of precious metals dealers when confidence in our government’s ability to manage this crisis is finally lost for good, then look no further than the streets of China.

The following pictures, taken in Jinan in the last 48 hours, depict some 10,000 Chinese citizens lining up to buy physical gold, providing all the evidence you need for the argument that gold is, in fact, money.

These are absolutely stunning.

Images from Caixin via Zero Hedge

The pictures are reminiscent of Americans lining up around the block during the gold buying sprees of the 1980′s in an attempt to get their hands on physical gold and silver.

Just as is the case with food, guns, ammunition, Xboxes, and iPhones, when widespread demand strikes it’s nearly impossible to get your hands on the goods you need at a fair price.

Get yours now, before the panicked masses realize what has happened.
